Selecting a Cow.

A model useful dairy COW may be
known at glance by an expert. She
has q fine, long head, broad between the
eyes, and thin, wide muzzle; the eyes
are large, and Of mild expression; the
neck is thin and long; the ears are thin,
and covered within with deep yellow
skin; the forequarters are light and thin,
and the whole body has much the shape
of a wedge, increasing in size to the rear;
the legs arc thin, with fine bone; the
belly is large and deep, with great ca
pacity for food; the back is broad and
straight, and the ribs are well rounded
toward the rear; the bones of the rump
are wide apart; the tail is long and thin;
the thighs are thin and are set widely
apart; the udder is large and full, es-
pecially behind; the teats are of good
size, and set far apart upon a broad,
level udder, and the milk-yein, so-called,
which is the large vein leading from the
udder and passing into the abdomen.
and which is an indication Of the amount
of blood circulating through the milk
glands, and contributing to the milk se-
cretion, should be full and tortuous in its
short ceuse. A fine horn, deep, yellow
skin, and general elegance Of form,
without any heaviness or beefiness in any
part, are also important indications Of
good quality in COW for the dairy

The sheepcold.

One way remains, says the Cultirdtor,
by which sheep may be made profitable
for the restoration of fertility. This is
TO buy in the fall and fatten during the
winter. No kind Of stock makes more
or richer manure in proportion TO its
feed. 1t requires experience with sheep.
and good judgment added, to buy them
Judiciously, but when thus bought. a
flock Of sheep in the fall can hardly fail
to prove profitable for feeding.
The increased growth Of wool from
fattening sheep goes good way toward
paying for their feed. Clover hay is best
for them, and with this and very little
grain sheep can be got in excellent con-
dition in sixty TO ninety days, and during
this time a flock Of one hundred will
work down a large straw stack into
manure, using most OF il as bedding.
IL IS in the barnyard, treading down
straw and compacting ii with evenly
distributed manure, rather than the pas
ture, that the foot Of the sheep is golden.
Grain-fed hogs will make scarcely richer
manure; but they do not relish cloYe.
hay nor tread down into manure the
straw they use as bedding.
WinteriDg a flock OF ewes so as TO grow
early lambs for market is profitable il
rightly managed; but il requires extra
warm quarters and plenty Of roots OF
other suceulent feed. II also needs
greater skill and judgment than Is re-
guired TO- fattening sheep. Merely in
feeding less skill Is demanded, for the
breeding eve has an appetite not easily
cloyed, and its feed Is more laxative and
less nutritious than that usually given to
fattening animals.
But the chief point in growing carly
lambs for market Is to keep up as large a
supply or milk as can be had from the
dam, and then supplementing this Just
as soon as lambs become old enough 10
